A COMMITMENT TO BETTER
EDUCATION FACILITIES

The NYC Educational Construction Fund was created by the New York State Legislature in 1967 with the mandate to encourage comprehensive neighborhood development by constructing mixed-use real estate projects which feature new school facilities. Since 1967 the ECF has constructed projects that have added over 18,000 school seats, 4,500 units of housing and 1.2 million square feet of office space in New York City. More
